The author, Mukul Deva, has written 4 books in the past, also known as the Lashkar series.
This book, The Dust Will Never Settle, is his latest novel. In my opinion by far his best and a must buy-must read.
The story is set under the backdrop of Israel-Palestinian relations. The acrimony and enimity on both sides. There is a female fidayeen led bomb attack in the most revered of Holy cities, Jerusalem. With a lot of loss of civilian and army personnel lives, the Israelis are able to gun down most of the terrorists, but one escapes.
The story shifts to the murky clammy shores of Sri Lanka, the illegal gun and refugee run into India and the smoldering activities of terrorist group LTTE. From the shores of Sri Lanka a boat reaches the shores of India with its terror cargo.
The story shifts to Israel Palestinian peace talks to be held under the ageis of India. But there are rumours of the escaped terrorist waiting to attack the summit. There are also the ongoing Commonwealth Games. The world powers offer their help and teams to battle terror. The head of the Indian antiterrorist Task Force, Ravinder, is handling his own demons of his past. His daughter from his first marriage, Ruby has returned home. Is he able to take her into his heart and his family. She is an Ex MI6 agent.
With the entire world looking, the Lashkar E Taiba is also straining at the bit to unleash its own terror in this milleu.
Will India be able to host the summit? Will the terrorist strike? Will the Indian ATTF be able to prevent the terror attack? Who is the terrorist?
To find the answer read the book. A must read, a must buy. I have bought this book and it shall be the pride of my collection.
I have read the other books: Lashkar, Salim Must Die, Tanzeem, they shall be reviewed soon.
This book should definitely be made into a movie. WHEN it is made i hope Mukul Deva invites me on as assistant script writer,
